the EEEPC does indeed show AR5006EG as the laptop is small and VERY 
limited memory I don't see a need for 64bit ;)

It claims to but as I dont have a network to test against so am unable

thats the only one I had available but some docs I saw from stateside 
said a closed version was available but had to be compiled.

I only have 2 real issues:
1-Some function key combos don't work (I will have map them) although 
many did work
2-As internal flash is 4G I wanted to run /var and /home from the SD 
card to get some more space.  I have not yet been able to get it to boot 
when /var or any other partition run from the SD card slot.

other than that now its my turn to annoy some commuters on the train 
playing on my 'puter.
